Testimonials

“The manuals are very informative, easy to read & understand. They have helped me
in explaining to others just what I hope to do & accomplish as a NICU OTR.”
-Jean Knis, OTR/L

"I found the Ladder Approach a great help for organizing my brain and creating a
sense of “order” to how I think about approaching each infant. It lends to a more
reassured and confident manner of treating infants when you have a structure to
back you up. I recommend the Ladder Approach to both new and experienced NICU
therapists. The Handouts included are helpful in guiding therapists as to what is
important to communicate to parents and how to communicate that information.”
-Kesia Danner-Bowman, OTR/L

I have been using your Ladder Approach manual and have found it invaluable. My
treatments are more organized and consistent. I wanted to thank you for providing
an excellent resource.”

“I really appreciate the usefulness of the training manual by Lisa. I was able to learn
about Developmental Care in the NICU and learn the background and evidence.
The manual was well organized.

I was able to understand and learn the Ladder Approach from the manual by Lisa. I
keep them both handy to reference. On one of my site visits to a NICU, they use the
manuals to train and orient new staff and students.”
-Lisa Olsen, OTR/L and post-professional Doctorate student
